This wasn't a review- Obviously this person was simply more entertained by alice in wonderland and felt it necessary to voice their opinion about how (not) awesome it is.
Sorry lady, but I didn't see anybody returning to the theater 3,5, 10, or 15+ times to watch alice frolick about for 2 hours.

^This. Although I thought Alice was indeed a good film (just finished watching it again, in fact) I still understand how much better Avatar was.
This is the problem with people: they compare movies with two totally different storylines and base their opinions of how much they liked one movie to how much "worse" another movie was by comparison. Usually they're back-to-back. This is what the guy was doing, and (regrettably) what many other people on AF and ToS were doing with Alice In Wonderland.
Also, I didn't sense any political message in AiW either. This guy takes
waaaay across the boundries of what was intended; it's like when people said Tolkien's Lord of the Rings was allegory of World War II. He blantantly denied this comparison of course; it's unfounded discernment between the intended message and the imagination of one person's worldview that makes reviews like the one from "T.V. Watchtower" incredibly and unforgivably
stupid.
